Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 375g quick cook polenta
  • 1.5 litres of boiling water
  • Pinch of salt (leave out if making for a baby)
  • 50g of hard cheese, like parmesan, grated
  • Olive oil

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5.
  • Put the polenta into a heavy-based saucepan and slowly whisk in the water and salt. Keep whisking over a low heat for about 8 minutes while the polenta starts to thicken. Be careful when the polenta starts to bubble.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Pour the polenta onto a plate, use a spatula to shape into a cake - keeping it quite thick - and leave to cool completely.
  • Once cool cut into chips and place on a non-stick baking tray. Brush with a little oil and put in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the chips are crunchy and golden.
